Autorenporträt

I extend thanks to family, friends and acquaintances who are resident in areas around Australia with thousands of kilometres between us. A very fortunate situation was when my cousin's wife Pat, in Queensland, allowed me access to all her family history documents. I have constantly found that those whom I hold in great esteem have been most supportive and understanding even when I have put some pressure on them and asked for memories (some painful) and details of past shared exploits.My husband Don has helped me with historical accounts and has always been willing to find time for some editing. I have deep gratitude for my Swedish friends Yvonne Henricksson, a Swedish genealogist, who provided countless avenues for research, and solved a problem by finding evidence that my grandmother, Alida, had cooked for the King of Sweden and Gunvor Nyberg, a Swedish friend and penfriend from school days.I also offer appreciation to my departed brother, Carl, whose own story, "By the Grace of God, I am What I am", has been a constant source of information for those years before my time. With deep gratitude, I also wish to thank Professor Donald Hardman, Dr Norm Philps, my friends Cherry Quin and Suzanne Newnham, professional editors and members of the Eurobodalla Writers Group, all of whom took so much of their time to make helpful criticisms and suggestions in preparing this trilogy for publication.The officials from IPrint and Lorena Depellegrin have given me such wonderful support all through the printing process I extend my deepest gratitude to the company.
